The city of San Francisco is often chosen by businesses as a meeting site because of the city’s vibrant cultural appeal, which makes their meetings more lively and productive. People tend to book extra days at the hotel and bring family members to combine business and pleasure on the visit. As the expansion of the Moscone center is underway, large convention groups are delaying their San Francisco meetings, which makes San Francisco an appealing choice for meetings for smaller businesses for the next two years.

Each year, hundreds of meetings and events take place in San Francisco and the Bay Area as business groups seek to use the vibrancy and excitement of the area to make their meetings more lively and productive.

Next year is a good year for smaller business groups to choose San Francisco, because the large convention groups are delaying their San Francisco meetings until the expansion of the Moscone Center is complete.
